I can honestly see tomorrow's match going either way. We're definitely going to see a weaker Draven, but Mewtwo/Sephiroth isn't as ideal a duo as Link/Shepard and we all know how desperate some of those LoL fans are. It's mainly up to the Reddit mods to really crack down on the rallies, even the stealth ones (i.e. "Riot should do X if Draven wins"), and I'm not sure how far they're going to go.

Draven threads continue to get smacked down, though it's still taking the mods a bunch of time to get to them when they come up. There's a *small* chance we won't see anything hit the Hot tab tomorrow, but even just consistent threads popping up on the New tab is possibly enough to win.

Well the things is that it's probably the same mod/mods that killed those rally and they won't stay the whole time. We saw during the Link matches every mod had "different" standard.
The 24h match might be helping Draven here, as wierd as it sounds.

Draven will still only get 7-10% of the base votes. I think he wins tomorrow, but gimped rallies won't get him past Snake.

You know what really helps the mods there find the threads to delete?
The report button.


I dunno, I think us just avoiding that place (and avoiding talking about them really) is the better idea. We got burnt by thwacking the bee's nest last round.

If someone wants they could report/notify the mods so it can get deleted quicker.

This was also the time when they were deleting all of the topics so maybe it is the same person that was doing it last round. If so a rally topic should be able to get a stronghold when he leaves about 2 hours before the poll starts.

I agree, if anyone is going to do something that drastic at the very least keep it off this board.

I'd like it, but no. Samus (or Mega Man!?) will cannibalize Snake's votes. Snake still has to prove himself anyway - I've got faith in him and he's looked good all contest, but he's had a real soft path so far.

But Snake will himself be gimped; Samus is not an easy win. He will not monopolize the normal GameFAQs vote in the same way Link did against Shepard.

I firmly believe that Mewtwo is the only chance to stop Draven, as slim a chance as that might be. Snake and Samus don't have the strong, easily rallyable bases that Mewtwo has and the vote will split horribly. Plus, the final match will bring out Draven's rallying in full force, since it's one last push. It's not a pure strength issue - Snake (or Samus) could well beat Draven 1v1, just like rallied Link or rallied Mewtwo would. But in this format, Draven coasts home against both.

Mega Man is really well-positioned based on trends. If his fans actually bother to rally against Pokemon, he can conceivably win this.

Return of percent chances (!!): I'll give Mega Man a 5% chance of winning right now.

(no I'm not tempting fate why would you say that)

I'll probably wait a while and see if Sephiroth is totally out of the running before voting tomorrow and if Mewtwo is even close. If Mewtwo has a prayer, I'll probably have to vote for him.

I'm rallying for Mega Man right now. If he can take the lead within the next 2 hours or so he'll be able to pull away enough that poke rallies won't matter as much.

#87 | swordz9 | Posted 9/10/2013 2:44:12 PM | message detail
If Draven flops Mewtwo should have a pretty easy victory with Sephiroth looking pretty unimpressive this contest and Mewtwo benefiting from being a Pokemon plus being rallied all over. I am not counting on Draven flopping though. I wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon doesn't make the final 3 just because one is in a match with Draven and the rest are in matches with each other.

It doesn't quite work like that. The rallies will intensify the most around a potential lead change. Even if Mega Man can take the lead his chances of building breathing room are almost nil.

Why would it backfire? If one of our topics were to stay up, it just means one of theirs would anyway. If we overwhelm with rally topics to the point most of the regulars are tired of them and they get zapped instantly, it's a very positive thing innit?

The idea to sabotage Draven by breaking reddit rules backfired badly last time. Don't even start with that crap again. People are watching this thread, they'll know what's going on.

Just report any threads that violate the rules and move on.


It didn't really backfire, the mods over there just got sort of angry at us. They can't really do a f***ing thing about downvoting threads. The mods just came over here and b****ed about their nonsensical forum rules.
